Another week passes and the Quality of performances keeps on rising along with the mileage from the race points. Great call from our men who make this organisation click. At the end of the day moving the race points isn’t really such a big thing but the welfare and safety of our birds is! No matter what the decision is you can rest assure that it’s a considered decision taken on behalf of the safety of our birds. This week me and my dad sat out the back garden together for the first time this season. I really enjoyed watching them all come home and having the craic together. Being his first race he has gotten the chance to watch, he was more excited than I was having not seen last week’s arrivals lol. Thank you to everybody for the kind feedback on my reports so far it really means a lot, I enjoy doing them and talking to different fanciers on their race and their different breeds of winners. I would like to thank everybody for help in gathering info for myself as it gives me a great help in doing my reports. I kindly ask for all club representatives/race secretaries within the covered sections to contact myself to be included in my weekly Reports, With Winners Photos, Winning Pigeons Info, and any other information looking to be published.

Thank you for taking the time to read through my N.I.P.A Journey’s End Report
Yours in Sport , Jordan Hughes.
